Default Neuro says MG

Hi all,
I saw neurologist this week, he dx MG. It was a long 4hr appt but he was very attentive. He tried test on muscle but they had lots of trouble with it (machine) that they finally quit because they had zapped me lots of times. I think that was a EMG test, not sure.

Also I tested negative to Achr test. My vitamin B and D blood work was normal. I haven't any other test for MG.

Dr put me on Mestinon 3x per day. I felt like it improve my eyelid fast, not 100% but a lot better, but this morning it looks droopy again. I definitely have improvement in fatigue though.

The first few pills caused some muscle spasms for about 30 mins or so then stop but that's gone. The mestinon does cause stomach issues but nothing I can't deal with.

My question is, "if" I don't have MG will the mestinon cause any problems?
I should have asked Dr. but it was such a long visit & trying to processes it all.
